Susanô was Amateratsu’s (sun goddess) brother
This is Susanô who retrieved the original Kusanagi no Tsurugi from the tail of the hydra and gave it to his sister, who gave it later to Ninigi no Mikoto the first « godsend » ruler of Japan. This Tsurugi with the mirror and the jewel are the three regalia proving the divine mandate given to him. They are the symbol of the Imperial rule over Japan.
Ninigi’s great-grandson Jimmu, was to become the first Emperor.
得心 or 心得 (kokoroe 2)
I do not speak Japanese but I love to « understand » the meaning of Japanese kanji.
This is one of the many things I learnt from Sensei during all these years.
Today, a friend sent me an interesting comment about « kokoroe » (cf. recent post). Kokoroe, « knowledge » is written 心得 shin/kokoro + u/toku. But when the two kanji of « kokoroe » are reversed: i.e. 得心, it is « tokushin » and means « understanding ». So knowledge is also about understanding Nature and Life.
This is good but it gets better!
The sound of the first kanji « toku » in tokushin can be written with different kanji and have different meanings in Japanese. For example, we all know that Karate, 空手 (« empty hand » today) used to be written Karate 唐手, Chinese boxing before Funakoshi Sensei changed it to have it accepted as a Japanese Budô at the end of the 19th century. Obviously a Chinese fighting system couldnt have recognized as a Japanese Budô.
So for « tokushin »…

Kokoroe And Jihi no Kokoro
In Japanese 心得 knowledge is kokoroe. Interestingly it is made up of two kanji 心, « shin » which is kokoro (heart, mind) and 得, « u » that has the meaning of: to get; to acquire; to obtain; to earn; to win; to gain; to secure. Therefore, acquiring kokoroe (knowledge) is seen by the Japanese as obtaining things through a better heart, a better mind and not « intellectual knowledge » as we see it in the West.
And this definition reminds me of what Takamatsu sensei in wrote in a text called: « Essence of Ninjutsu », in which he defines the 慈悲の心, the jihi no kokoro or « benevolent heart » of the ninja.
He writes: « Stronger than love itself, the benevolent heart is capable of encompassing all that constitutes universal justice and all that finds expression in the unfolding of the universal scheme. Born of the insight attained from repeated exposure to the very brink between life and death…
